Fox News contributor Tomi Lahren admitted Wednesday to kicking her dog “five times” because she was bothering her during an appearance on “Fox & Friends” this morning.

“Why don’t you tell the world what you were doing during my entire “Fox & Friends” hit,” says Lahren in an Instagram story. “Oh I know, chewing on her damn bone as loud as she possibly could. So I had to kick her about five times during the show.”

The dog, Kota, did not appear to be in any physical danger at the time of filming and wagged its tail as Lahren recounting the beating.

A spokesperson for Fox News did not immediately respond to request for comment from TheWrap.

It’s not the first time Lahren’s Instagram stories have made news. In an earlier story in January, Lahren made headlines calling Rep. Joe Kennedy III “that little limp dick” and also opined that he looked “a helluva lot like pre-Caitlyn Bruce Jenner?”

Lahen later apologized for her remarks on Twitter.

“My comments on my personal Instagram about Kennedy’s response were inappropriate and I take full responsibility for that. I got too upset. I sincerely apologize,” she said at the time.

In 1968, Ailes got an Emmy nod when "The Mike Douglas Show" was nominated for Outstanding Achievement in Daytime Programming, ultimately losing to NBC's "Today" show.

After first meeting Richard Nixon on the set of "The Mike Douglas Show," Ailes was hired by the then-presidential candidate to be his media advisor during the campaign, which marked his first professional foray into politics.

Ailes continued consulting on presidential campaigns, serving as media consultant for three successful Republicans: Nixon, Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush.

Ailes produced the famous "revolving door" ad for Bush, which painted Democratic nominee Michael Dukakis as soft on crime. The piece was widely regarded as the most influential ad of the political cycle.

In 1988, Ailes co-authored a self-help book with Jon Kraushar. "You Are the Message" shared Ailes' tips for effective communication and public performances.

In 1992, Ailes served as executive producer on a syndicated late-night talk show hosted by right-wing radio host Rush Limbaugh, which ran for four years before coming to an end in 1996.

Ailes was named president of CNBC in 1993, where he launched the new cable network America's Talking, which was shut down and replaced with future Fox News competitor MSNBC.

Media mogul Rupert Murdoch hired Ailes to serve as founding CEO and Chariman of the Fox News Channel in 1996, which soon grew to become the most popular cable news network in the country.
